"Fantastic breakfast including fresh breads and Japanese hot dishes. Homemade fresh local tofu. Many organic foods. Close to station and shops and restaurants. Great view of Nara City at night during the happy hour or morning during breakfast. Basic pillow was traditional Japanese pillow filled with beans or grain. Other softer pillows were available from the front reception area. The hotel is working hard to reduce/eliminate carbon footprint. As a traveler with small luggage at the end...

Top Saidai-ji Hotel Reviews

Hotel THE LEBEN OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very helpful, room exceptionally clean and bathroom amenities were outstanding. Room was quite large."

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

8/10 Good

"This was a nice hotel in a good location of Osaka - walking distance to the train station at the Semba Centre building. We had booked a corner room with a balcony, but it was a strange layout and there was nowhere to put our luggage so it probably would have been better to have a regular room. We ended up having to use the small couch to put our luggage on - and stack it on top of each other, so not ideal! The beds were very comfortable but due to the size and layout of the room, it was difficult to watch the TV from our beds. There is a nice Chinese restaurant on the ground floor where we had a meal the night we arrived. There is a good selection of shops and stores around the hotel if you are needing supplies."

Hotel Forza Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Hotel Forza Osaka Kitahama as a family of four! The location is excellent, right next to the Sakaisuji Line, making it really easy to get around Osaka and visit the main attractions. There’s also a Lawson right next to the hotel, with a 7-Eleven and FamilyMart just down the street. The breakfast was great, and the kids especially loved being able to get ice cream in the morning! The staff were also wonderful, providing great service and being very accommodating throughout our stay. One thing to note is that the laundry machines are pretty old. They take a while to dry clothes, only accept coins, and require you to bring your own laundry detergent. Plan on spending around 1.5 to 2 hours to wash and dry a small load. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The location, breakfast, and friendly staff made it a great place to stay while exploring Osaka. We'd definitely recommend it to other families visiting the area!"
